I know that Spruce is still the best material for construction of anairplane. In the reprinted articles about the Piet by the patron Saint Bernie,he also mentions the steel tube fuselage, and give instructions for that. Hesays something about he could find someone to weld one up for a few bucks. Ofall Piets flying, does anyone know how many have steel tube fuses? I wonderabout the weight differential. But, most amateurs would not have the skillsnor the equipment to do the weldin. Besides, the completed wood plane is areal work of art.
